Hi

It was not that long ago that Linus Torvalds found a bug in the Linux kernel pipe implementation which caused GNU make 
to lose jobserver tokens, so possibly researching that bug may shed some light on the kinds of things that could be 
wrong with the Cygwin pipe code.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0ddad21d3e99c743a3aa473121dc5561679e26bb
